How to set up secure websocket on Meteor app (localhost)

Question

I used Asteroid as my ddp to connect with my Meteor app as backend. The front end run https and it works perfectly on Chrome. So it actually a consist of two separate apps run independently. But it didn't go well in Safari. Safari block the connection as there are mix/insecure content.

So far I have force-ssl package added to my Meteor app but still no luck. How do I enable wss protocol on my local development machine (localhost)

Answer 1

Have you tried to connect on localhost by just using http://localhost:3000? If your Meteor backend and frontend are both running on localhost then you shouldn't be trying to connect via https or wss. Your machine doesn't have a trusted certificate running on it so the connection can't be made.

Also, don't use force-ssl locally for the same reason I mention above.

Please post the full error from Safari if the above solution doesn't work. Please clarify what is running where (are they both on localhost, or just one).
